Book One – Saddle Up!

When Bridget’s grandparents gift her a week at Rawhide Ranch in California, the twelve-year-old is over the moon with excitement. What is better than a week of riding horses and living her cowgirl dreams?
Bridget has one small problem. She has never ridden a real horse. But how hard can it be? It looks easy enough in the westerns Bridget has grown up watching. When she arrives at camp, horse-crazy Bridget makes a frightening discovery: real horses are much bigger than she ever imagined!
How can a girl who adores horses and knows everything about them be paralyzed with fear? Worse, her problem soon turns into a shameful secret she must try to keep at any cost. Will this be Bridget’s best week ever? Or will her secret stampede into the final horse show and spoil everything?
